Finally dropped the ride :)

Finally lowered my ride. Not as crazy low as some of you guys, but i like it. I am probably going to do the springmount mod to lower the back some more to match the front.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. Proper shoot coming when i get my bumper repainted because the paint lifted off a couple of spots.

Get you some spacers and you would really be good to go. Still a nice drop.

you are not on coils? I have never liked the idea of cutting springs. Just make sure you measure twice, cut once

No not cutting the spring. Just simply slicing off a chunk of the rubber spring mount in the back. Lots of guys do it with the 350z S-Techs because of uneven drop.

Not bad at all, some spacers would enhance the look even more.

Thanks for the comments guys, I am waiting until i get a new set of tires before the spacers, cause it rubs already up front.
Thinking of doing 225/35 and 245/30 with 20mm spacers in the back and prob 10mm up front.

^ Yeah, it's in the works. I need to do something about the rubbing in the front. It's bad. Any suggestions?

do some fender massaging. you're tucking up front so theres no way around rubbing when turning and hittin dips/inclines. space it/stretch it/camber it

Fender Massaging for sure. So you think it is just rubbing on the inner plastic fender well? Not the fender? I don't mind as long as its not going to shred my tires
